A lazy VE
got sick of the VZ wheels hey, and gone an inch bigger, as I've said before your doing well for an old bugger :p. One problem you will be spending more time in the back then actually driving :yeah: . Hope she was in garage after pics taken, looked like it's about to piss down. She's coming along nicely get her lowered, 1.5" will suffice IMO still want it to be very practical while still look good. :thumbsup:I hear lovell springs are nice and comfy.

P.S. Since when you had name change?? :confused:

Updated pics.

Ok, had some people ask for pics of car after it was lowered so here she is.
Come up pretty well i reckon altho' it does need a camber kit in it, getting that done next week.
Pretty much finished with the mods but might go with phreddy's blaupunkt upgrade later on.
Mods have been:
18" VY SS rims
Blaupunkt dvd roof mounted screen with dvd player under passenger seat.
Pedders sports ryder suspension
Clubsport/calais headlights
Aftermarket binnacle gauges(pod purchased from autobarn, gauges Stewart warner electronic oil pressure and volt gauge)
Nokia ck-7w bluetooth handsfree car kit
tinted windows.

2004 VY Series II Executive
Looks wicked now mate.

Having the exact same colour but in an Executive, really helps me see what mine may look like in a few months. What's holding me back on wheel choice is I still cannot decide between VY SS or VZ SS, but now that you've lowered it, its making my decision even harder!

Thanks for the visualizations. :)

Looks great..just the idea ride height and rims match it quite well
